Dr. Jack Singer

SPECIALIST IN: Sports Performance

In addition to earning a Diplomate in Behavioral Medicine from the American Academy of Behavioral Medicine, Jack Singer, Ph.D., (Dr. Jack) maintains a special Certification in Clinical Hypnosis from the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. A firm believer in “Mind-Body Medicine,” Dr. Jack is one of only a dozen or so Sports Psychologists around the U.S. who has this Clinical Hypnosis Certification and he teaches powerful, self-hypnosis skills to all his athletes.This difference maker is truly an "unfair advantage" for all athletes who want to consistently maintain their peak performance skills. In short, Sports Hypnosis is a must for athletes who want to have a powerful “edge” on their competition!

Recognized by the National Institute of Sports as a Certified Sports Psychologist (CSP), the Institute also honored Dr. Jack as a Diplomate Mental Health Service Provider in the field of Sports Psychology. This honor is bestowed only on one-half of one percent of the Sports Psychologists who apply for it.

In addition to working directly with athletes, Dr. Jack also works with teams to select specific athletes, and Jack teaches specific skills for developing cohesion and enhancing the communications skills between coaches and athletes. Dr. Jack regularly appears as a guest on sports talk radio and television shows around the U.S., including FOX Sports, ESPN, and the XTRA Sports in Southern California. Dr. Jack is on the advisory board and a regular contributor to Championship Performance and his articles also appear in psychology, medical, human resources and business periodicals across the U.S.
